  • Publication number: 20060283819
    Abstract: A modular system of interconnecting track members for use on a flat shelf or on an inclined gravity-feed shelf, wherein each individual track member includes an overhang on a first sidewall extending in a direction opposite the second sidewall of that track member, the overhang defining a channel to receive a portion of a second sidewall of an adjacent track member. The track members are provided in a variety of configurations, including different widths and different wall heights. The track members may also be provided with such features as friction-reducing hip slide rails, a groove to facilitate removal of the overhang, drainage openings, permanent dividers, and removable dividers.

  • Publication number: 20060233537
    Abstract: Some embodiments of the invention provide a user interface of editing video through a multi-stage editing process. The user interface selects a particular stage in the editing process. A particular editing operation is performed on a set of video images during the particular stage. After the selection of the particular stage, the user interface uses a background rendering process to render the result of the particular editing operation on the particular set of video images. The background rendering process is a process that the user interface performs separately from the multi-stage video editing process, so that a user may continue editing the video sequence while the rendering occurs. Some embodiments provide a preview of the rendering process in a preview window. Some of these embodiments update the preview in real time. In some embodiments, the rendering occurs to a temporary location and then stores to a persistent storage.

  • Publication number: 20060016856
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for sealing a container is described and which includes multiple work stations which are positioned on a moveable carousel, and wherein the individual work stations are operable to form a seal on a container which encloses hazardous waste and wherein the seal can be readily inspected and repaired, if a defective seal has been formed.

  • Publication number: 20050224477
    Abstract: A welding apparatus using ultrasonic sensing is described and which includes a movable welder having a selectively adjustable welding head for forming a partially completed weld in a weld seam defined between adjoining metal substrates; an ultrasonic assembly borne by the moveable welder and which is operable to generate an ultrasonic signal which is directed toward the partially completed weld, and is further reflected from same; and a controller electrically coupled with the ultrasonic assembly and controllably coupled with the welding head, and wherein the controller receives information regarding the ultrasonic signal and in response to the information optimally positions the welding head relative to the weld seam.

  • Publication number: 20050075703
    Abstract: A treatment device which uses a light radiation of multiple wavelengths and pulse-shaped electromagnetic fields for the photodynamic stimulation of cells, especially cells of human tissue, and also for the activation and stimulation of light sensitive substances (PTD). The device produces energy radiation by the use of semiconductor and/or laser diodes, which emit light in several separate wavelengths due to a special operation mode and the use of tuneable diodes. The equipment consists of a stand, with which machine applicators are connected via a jointed arm. The stand is freely moveable on wheels and includes a control mechanism whereby the various parameters for therapy can be adjusted and switched on and off. The stand is also connected to a hand applicator for treatment of small tissue-areas, e.g., acupuncture points. Photodynamic substances are introduced into the tissue with a special hand applicator.

  • Publication number: 20050059488
    Abstract: A method for processing interactive user control with a scene of a video clip is provided. The method initiates with identifying a head of a user that is to interact with the scene of the video clip. Then, the identified head of the user is tracked during display of the video clip, where the tracking enables detection of a change in position of the head of the user. Next, a view-frustum is adjusted in accordance with the change in position of the head of the user. A computer readable media, a computing device and a system for enabling interactive user control for defining a visible volume being displayed are also included.

  • Patent number: 6450941
    Abstract: The invented device for hair-care consists of an applicator (1), which is equipped with at least one print-board (6,7), upon which semiconductor-diodes (LED) or laser-diodes (8) are placed. The semiconductor-diodes (LED) and the laser-diodes radiate light with a wavelength between 350 and 1200 nm. Further, the applicator (1) contains one or more plain transmitter-coils (transducers) (3) for the emission of pulse-shaped electromagnetic radiation. It can be equipped with an IR-heating element and a ventilator to produce a warm air stream. The applicator (1) can be formed as a hood (2) or designed as a plainer surface applicator consisting of one or more parts, in the latter case the parts being connected with moveable joints. The applicator can also be designed as a hand applicator. In this case it resembles an ordinary hand-held hair drier, consisting of an almost cylindrical tube with a rectangular handle.

  • Patent number: 5807745
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of inhibiting (reducing or preventing) the interaction of a cell which bears a surface molecule that interacts with a ligand comprising a Le.sup.x core with its target ligand by contacting the cell with an inhibitor comprising a Lewis x (Le.sup.x) core. The invention further relates to a method of inhibiting (reducing or preventing) the interaction or adhesion of endothelial cells and/or platelets with leukocytes (i.e., white blood cells), especially with nonlymphocytic leukocytes such as neutrophils and monocytes, by contacting the endothelial cells and/or platelets with an inhibitor comprising a Le.sup.x core under conditions whereby adhesion is inhibited.
